Mastodon - Crack the Skye: phenomenal is a word used far too often, but is more than appropriate for this seven track, fifty plus minute epic piece of progressive metal music
Propagandhi - Supporting Caste: lyrical genius and intense, emotional playing within pop-punk boundaries, it's a record which should have the power for social change, and will at least become a landmark in their already righteous history
Mono - Hymn to the Immportal Wind: embracing classical movements within standard post-rock cliches, Mono continue to craft luminescent soundscapes of beauty and bitterness
Micahcu and the Shapes - Jewellery: a DIY masterpiece, pop music started at Year Zero with homemade instrument and a sense of adventure that rivals any album made in a long time
The Thermals - Now We Can See: it's a Thermals record! Nuff said.
Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion: natural beauty as danced and interpreted by tropical electricity
Others bubbling under:
Hatcham Social - You Dig The Tunnel, I'll Hide The Soil
Asobi Seksu - Hush
Women - Women
